Ripple Blanket & Bringing Hubby Home

I'm enjoying the ripple blanket I'm working on.  The pattern is from the lovely and colorful Lucy at the Attic24 blog.  I'd done ripples in the past but they had a point-y look, more of a chevron.  I like this better as it's more organic and gentle.  There is a "Ripple-Along" going with Lucy and her friend Heather from Little Tin Bird blog.  They even made a Flickr page for all of to share our ripples!!
This morning I called hubby at the hospital to see when he thought I could come and get him and he said he'd call me and let me know.. which he did around 10:30 am.  I pulled in to the covered entrance area and soon a nurse brought him right up to the car.  Kind of like I got a husband in a drive-through hospital.  Such a deal!


He is very happy to be home, and the dog and I are happy to have him back.  Buddy looked for him all night.  I made him a grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup lunch - his first meal for a few days.  Now he's taking a nap.  Poor guy.  


No other big news here.  Just accepting the fact that Summer was fleeting, Fall was a leaf color bust in Oregon, I miss my granddaughters, time to get Christmas gifts purchased and I want to make some crocheted toys for the kids.  I saw the cutest kitty and I printed up a photo of it.  


Thanks for all the concern for hubby, he feels loved. 
((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    Glad your husband is home and doing well.

    It drove the animals upset the whole time Duane was in the hospital and nursing home. Especially his Bootsie cat.

    I understand about your granddaughters. We really miss Faith.

    Glad to hear hubby is home and recovering well (and being thoroughly spoilt too). Your ripple ghan looks lovely - it does look 'gentle' and I think the colours are perfect. xoxox

    So pleased that you have your hubby home again, and he is resting and recovering. Your ripple blanket is looking lovely, and will be the perfect thing to do while you take care of Dayle. Sending you both good wishes.

    Hurray Hubby's home! Now you get to play nurse like I did when my honey broke his elbow last winter. Hope he's a good patient for you! Your ripple looks great and such a fun pattern. Crocheting toy animals is a great idea for the little ones. Can't wait to see. Have a good day and rest up yourself.

    I'm so happy to hear Dayle has made it back home. G.C. and Tom Soup is just perfect feel better lunch, oh, wise one. Isn't that ripple just so much fun to do. I have done a few of A24's and they go so quickly. Of course, I love those colors. It's going to be a long time till spring here too.

    Glad to hear your Hb is back home, it is always the best place to recover. Perhaps he could take up crochet with you....LOL! I am sure he is itching to get outside again soon. The year really is flying by now....53 days until "C"!! I love the new banner on your blog.
    Take care of yourselves,

    So glad Dayle is home. Hope is recovering well. Things just aren't right when everyone isn't were they are supposed to be. I can only imagine how much you miss your babies. My oldest starts college next year and I know I will be a basket case.

    It's good to read that Dayle is through the surgery and back at home. Hope he does as he's told and takes it easy. The blanket looks gorgeous. I keep thinking I should try one but hve so many other things on the go so shouldn't really start anything new.
    I feel so fortunate to have my granddaughters near and I wish you were able to have the same. Take care Teresa. Anne x

    I'm glad you got your other half back in good shape. Don't you hate it when he's gone? Sounds like you are being a good little nursie making him a grilled cheese sammie and tomato soup. Nothing like being spoiled when you're not up to par.

    Still lovin' the ripple!
